Julia Roberts spoke of how she immediately fell in love with the script.

“I just thought it was really clever and just funny,” she said.

“All the physical comedy I loved.”

“Lots of falling down and falling through things, falling all over myself, falling over Dermot.”

Originally, the film actually finished with Julianne finding love with another wedding guest, played by Sex and The City star John Corbett.

But the ending wasn’t popular at test screenings, so a new ending was filmed featuring Julianne and George dancing at the wedding reception.

“The focus group didn’t want Julianne to have a happy ending. They still hadn’t forgiven her,” Hogan said.

“They just weren’t ready for her to end up in the arms of another guy. I thought the answer was George, because the film really worked when Rupert was on camera. Rupert and Julia’s chemistry is so great.”
